Embedding Custom Fonts in iOS [iPhone, iPad]

Though iOS 4 comes with a variety of fonts, you may want to include additional ones for an application.

Recently, we had to include Arial Black in our UIWebView for a card viewer application.

Here is how:

1. You drag the *.ttf file into the Resources folder
2. Add a row to the *-info.plist file called “UIAppFonts” (of type Array)
3. It will change to say “Fonts provided by application”
4. Add the full name of the font in the Array – i.e. “Arial Black.ttf”
5. Now you can use the font in your HTML as you would regularly.
